But you'll soon want to skip the clicking and use keyboard input. I type the special characters using a backslash escape, so that, for example, typing `\` then `z` writes `⥊` (the backslash character itself is not used by BQN). The online REPL supports this method out of the box, and configuration files to enable it in various other places are included with the [editor plugins](https://github.com/mlochbaum/BQN/tree/master/editors). There's also a [bookmarklet](https://abrudz.github.io/lb/bqn) you can use to enable BQN input in any webpage in your browser. The [font comparison page](https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/fonts.html) shows several fonts that support BQN (including the one used on this site, a modified version of DejaVu Sans Mono). Most other monospace fonts are missing some BQN characters, such as double-struck letters `𝕨`, `𝕩` and so on, which will cause these characters to be rendered with a fallback font and possibly have the wrong width or look inconsistent. -- cgit v1.2.3
